If you’re ready to purchase the long-rumored “iWatch” or “iPhone 6” with a 5.5-inch screen, you might need to be patient. A new report says both highly anticipated pieces of hardware may not arrive until December.
That information comes from GforGames, relaying the information from “inside sources from Apple’s supply chain.”
If the information is correct, those two products, along with the next-generation iPad Air and iPad mini, will all enter mass production in September.
A December release date for the wearable device and phablet would be unusual. Apple usually likes to have as much supply as possible of new products for the holiday shopping season. The late release date could also mean massive shortages of both devices for quite some time.
The good news is that the smaller “iPhone 6” with a 4.7-inch screen has apparently already entered production, meaning that device could hit the market as early as September.
Both versions of the iPhone are expected to offer a faster A8 processor, camera improvements, and more. The iWatch is rumored to be a fitness-oriented device that will depend heavily on the iPhone and iOS 8.
